# How do I enable SSH connection?



SSH connection is exclusively dedicated for the developer’s access to Volumio OS via command-line. It is disabled as default (recommended for security reasons). Enable it only if required, for remote support or for saving a log link.

To enable SSH:

Navigate to [http://volumio.local/dev](https://volumio.local/dev) or [http://yourvolumioip/dev](https://yourvolumioip/dev), where `volumio` / `yourvolumioip` is the actual name / IP address of your device eg. `Rivo` or `192.168.1.54`.

Find the SSH section, and click `ENABLE`. From now on your SSH will be permanently enabled. To disable SSH again, click `DISABLE`.
